When did you stop working?

I'm 29 weeks and have 2 part time jobs in the food service industry (constantly on my feet or getting in and out of my car). My hips are starting to kill and I was just wondering when y'all stopped or plan to stop working, especially those with "on your feet" jobs.

 

I had a desk job and stopped work at 37.4 weeks.  I had my twins at 37.5 (scheduled C-section).  I had a good pregnancy. 

 

I also had a sit down job and worked up until 39 weeks.  Not super helpful.

 

Desk job and I started working from home on my left side with bedrest at 30 weeks. 
 
You really have to listen to your body- some women are just peachy (ok, pregnant peachy) and some women aren't.

 

I left work at 30 weeks on bed rest per my doctor's orders.  From about week 20, I was working 10-12 hour shifts and on my feet for about 4-6 of them.  I felt pretty good.  In hindsight, it as not very smart but I was the lead on my project and had to do what I had to do... and maybe I ignored some warning signs.  Babies were born at 31 weeks.
 
Listen to your body

 

I was put in light duty around 22wks for a shortening cervix (on my feet pushing big ultrasound machine around to desk work or outpatients only sitting) and complete bedrest due to funneling cervix and dilation at 28wks. Babies were born at 34wks

 

I worked as a nurse on the floor in the hospital doing 12 hour shifts until 34 weeks when I was put on hospital bedrest due to HELLP syndrome.  Def. go with what your body tells you. 

 

I also have a desk job, but went into preterm labor at 30 weeks and had a 3 day hospital stay and then was sent home on bedrest, delivered at 35 weeks.
I cant imagine being on my feet all day too much into the 3rd trimester, although I am sure its been done. 
Check with your OB, for sure.

 

desk job here too and worked until 35+3 (Thursday) and delivered at 36w (Tuesday)

 

I'm 23 weeks and just started working @ home. Full time desk job and hope to go to 36 weeks until scheduled c-section.

 

Desk job - worked until 37 + 5, delivered via scheduled csection at 38 + 3

 

Those of you with scheduled c sections. We're there known complications already to make them schedule the c sections? Or just because you'd be "full term"

 

I had a desk job as well.  I was able to work until 36 weeks.  Delivered the children at 38 weeks.  I would definitely say listen to your body and talk with your OB about how you are feeling.  I know towards the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy my feet and legs would swell just being on my feet for a minimal amount of time, I probably would have had to stop work sooner if my job was not a desk job.
My c-section was scheduled, not due to any complications, but because baby A was breech.  

 

My babies or horizontal laying one on top of the other so I'll have to ask when they would even know if baby A is breech since he's on his side. My swelling hasn't been too bad, it's mostly hip and pelvic pain. I literally moan just from changing positions while sitting and have to sit to put on underwear/pants etc because I'm in so much pain

 

Ugh, putting on underwear was the worst!
 
If Baby A is horizontal, he's not breech. Breech is head up, butt/legs down.

 

My csection was scheduled because Baby B was horizontal, plus I was full term.

 

I'm a teacher. I worked up until 33 weeks and had babies at 35 weeks. Would have kept working but I stopped when we went on Christmas break. I wish I could have stopped at 27 weeks like my doc suggested.

 

I had a desk job and I stopped going to work when I was put on bedrest at 24 weeks (pre-term contractions and then labor), but I still worked up until my girls were born at 34 weeks (from my bed, from the hospital, even the day after they were born I was still answering emails... until I lost my mind and told everyone to eff off because I was a little busy).  Listen to your body.
